The city of Jakarta, Indonesia, has experienced significant urbanization into a vast metropolis on a global scale. The process of expansion has exerted significant pressure on crucial elements such as resources, infrastructure, education, and technology, with a particular emphasis on the northern coastal regions. In this context, the urban growth of the city, characterized by the proliferation of tall buildings and the establishment of commercial enterprises, intersects with economically disadvantaged traditional fishing communities. Frequently, rural communities are confronted with instances of forced eviction in the context of commercial endeavors, leading to a lack of essential services and challenges. In the present situation, Kampung Kerang Hijau, or the Green Mussel Villages located in Muara Angke, which is situated in the coastal northern region of Jakarta, display distinct characteristics. This village is currently dealing with a number of problems, including social displacement, climate change, and the grave threat of poverty. In addition, the village’s daily production of green mussels has resulted in tons of landfills for green mussel shells. Although the locals have discovered ways to reuse these green mussel shells, the 20-year custom of residing among mounds of mussel shells has detrimental effects on social, cultural, economic, and health aspects of life. This research thesis will present an academic narrative on the ideation of the empowerment initiative of Green Mussel Village, with a focus on establishing a circular community. The thesis is based on a combination of desk research and field research. The study encompasses a range of educational resources, such as books, journals, websites, and both private and public documentation. The primary aim of this research thesis is to comprehensively explore and document the distinctive coastal community residing in Green Mussel Village, focusing on the attentive and regular observation of the green mussel processing areas. An empowerment initiative is put into perspective within the green mussel processing industry with the aim of attaining circularity, whereby underutilized resources are utilized to improve the standard of living in the green mussel village. Aiming to be a circular community is thought to include a number of things, including building social capital, empowering communities, and advocating for a healthier and cleaner identity for the villages.
La città di Jakarta, in Indonesia, ha sperimentato una significativa urbanizzazione in una vasta metropoli su scala globale. Il processo di espansione ha esercitato pressioni significative su elementi cruciali quali le risorse, le infrastrutture, l’istruzione e la tecnologia, con particolare enfasi sulle regioni costiere settentrionali. In questo contesto, la crescita urbana della città, caratterizzata dalla proliferazione di edifici alti e dalla creazione di imprese commerciali, si incrocia con le comunità di pescatori tradizionali economicamente svantaggiate. Spesso le comunità rurali si trovano di fronte a casi di espulsione forzata nel contesto di sforzi commerciali, che portano alla mancanza di servizi e sfide essenziali. Nella situazione attuale, Kampung Kerang Hijau, o i Villaggi di Mussel Verde situati a Muara Angke, che si trova nella regione costiera settentrionale di Jakarta, presentano caratteristiche distinte. Questo villaggio sta attualmente affrontando una serie di problemi, tra cui lo spostamento sociale, il cambiamento climatico e la grave minaccia della povertà. Inoltre, la produzione giornaliera di molluschi verdi del villaggio ha portato a tonnellate di discarica per le conchiglie di mulluschi verde. Sebbene i locali abbiano scoperto modi per riutilizzare questi gusci di muschio verde, il costume di 20 anni di risiedere tra i muscoli di muscoli ha effetti negativi su aspetti sociali, culturali, economici e sanitari della vita. Questa tesi di ricerca presenterà una narrazione accademica sull’idea dell’iniziativa di empowerment di Green Mussel Village, con l’obiettivo di creare una comunità circolare. La tesi si basa su una combinazione di ricerca da tavolo e ricerca sul campo. Lo studio comprende una serie di risorse educative, come libri, riviste, siti web e documentazione privata e pubblica. L’obiettivo primario di questa tesi di ricerca è quello di esplorare e documentare in modo completo la distintiva comunità costiera residente nel villaggio di Green Mussel, concentrandosi sull’osservazione attenta e regolare delle aree di lavorazione del muschio verde. Un’iniziativa di emancipazione è messa in prospettiva all’interno dell’industria di lavorazione del muschio verde con l’obiettivo di raggiungere la circolarità, con la quale le risorse sottosviluppate vengono utilizzate per migliorare lo standard di vita nel villaggio di muscoli verdi. L’obiettivo di essere una comunità circolare è pensato per includere una serie di cose, tra cui la costruzione di capitale sociale, l’empowerment delle comunità, e la promozione di un’identità più sana e più pulita per i villaggi.

Abstract
The city of Jakarta, Indonesia, has experienced significant urbanization into a vast metropolis on a global scale. The process of expansion has exerted significant pressure on crucial elements such as resources, infrastructure, education, and technology, with a particular emphasis on the northern coastal regions. In this context, the urban growth of the city, characterized by the proliferation of tall buildings and the establishment of commercial enterprises, intersects with economically disadvantaged traditional fishing communities. Frequently, rural communities are confronted with instances of forced eviction in the context of commercial endeavors, leading to a lack of essential services and challenges. In the present situation, Kampung Kerang Hijau, or the Green Mussel Villages located in Muara Angke, which is situated in the coastal northern region of Jakarta, display distinct characteristics. This village is currently dealing with a number of problems, including social displacement, climate change, and the grave threat of poverty. In addition, the village’s daily production of green mussels has resulted in tons of landfills for green mussel shells. Although the locals have discovered ways to reuse these green mussel shells, the 20-year custom of residing among mounds of mussel shells has detrimental effects on social, cultural, economic, and health aspects of life. This research thesis will present an academic narrative on the ideation of the empowerment initiative of Green Mussel Village, with a focus on establishing a circular community. The thesis is based on a combination of desk research and field research. The study encompasses a range of educational resources, such as books, journals, websites, and both private and public documentation. The primary aim of this research thesis is to comprehensively explore and document the distinctive coastal community residing in Green Mussel Village, focusing on the attentive and regular observation of the green mussel processing areas. An empowerment initiative is put into perspective within the green mussel processing industry with the aim of attaining circularity, whereby underutilized resources are utilized to improve the standard of living in the green mussel village. Aiming to be a circular community is thought to include a number of things, including building social capital, empowering communities, and advocating for a healthier and cleaner identity for the villages.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
